More on the Minuteman Project

Media Lies provides us with a link to a Christian Science Monitor article that seems more or less "balanced," but it neglects to mention what the ACLU freakazoids were up to while this was going on.
He [Salvador Zamora, Border Patrol Spokeman] says the vigil generated 1,100 phone calls to the Border Patrol and 2,000 apprehensions. Those statistics appear to differ from the minuteman's own statistics which claim that 335 apprehensions were directly facilitated by their volunteers who observed illegal crossings and called the Border Patrol. The difference can be accounted for by the number of possible calls by local residents.
Two thousand apprehensions. Wow.
